CPEAKING at Portland, P. If. Cummings, New York1,' air
traffic representative for tlie" Railway Express agency,
predicts transportation of maiW of 6regon's perishable agri
cultural products to eastern' rtiarWt by air express in' the
postwar period. This prediction is not new. In fact, de
velopment of air express was well under way prior to the
war and it probably would have reached substantial propor
tions had not the war intervened to curtail availability of
equipment.
Air express was used quite extensively by turkey growers
in shipping poults and eggs. T'he floral and nursery indus
tries have made good use of aerial transportation. Costs,
however, have, in the past, precluded the use of air trans
portation for bulky or heavy cargoes.
Aeronautical science, hus now produced new types of
equipment, as a result of war demands, and planes are in
existence today which can handle heavy and bulky freight
at comparatively low costs. An abundance of planes, to
gether with an ample supply of trained manpower, means
terial transportation at rates far below those of past years,
when the war is concluded.
Oregon's agriculture is in a position to profit substantially
fit progressive steps ai'e talieri to secure fullest advantage
from opportunities offered by new transportation methods.
Hee in Douglas county, for instance, our prune industry
has been deteriorating rapidly. The market for dried prunes
is almost a thing of the past. Canned prunes find ready
sale, but normally go into low-priced trade channels.
. There is no finer fresh fruit in the world than an Italian,
pt'tite or date prune fully ripened on the tree. But because
ripe prunes spoil quickly, they must reach consumers" without
delay or, otherwise, milst be preserved by drying or canning.
By air express, prunes picked in Douglas county orchards
could be placed in New York markets within 24 hours. Cities
on the Atlantic seaboard and, iii fact; throughout all of the
eastern states, doubtless would consume all of the Pacific
coast's production of prunes if the fruit could be delivered in
a fresh stale. It is quite probable that the cost of transport
ing a pound of prunes by air express would not exceed the
cost of drying or canning, when coupled with normal costs of
transportation' to market. Sold at reiail in fresh condition
the fruit unquestionably would comnVarid excellent prices.
It is possible that the coming of air transportation will re
vive Douglas county's prune industry, once our greatest j
source of income.
Here in the Umpqtia valley we grow the world's finest
cantaloupe. Testa have shoVn its sugar content to be
higher than in melons grown in any other locality. But
contaloupes, to hi at their best, must be vine-ripened. This
means that even under the most favorable refrigeration there
cail be little elapsed time betwoen the plucking and the eat
ing. Air transportation, if costs are right, would permit a
large-scale melon industry in Douglas county.
JVtahy more of our agricultural products are susceptible
to ihcfenScd values and more certain markets through air
express.
Through aerial transportation we can build neV markets.
There is never an over-production of agricultural products.
Huge surpluses may accumulate in one part of the world but,
at the same time, famine may exist elsewhere. Transporta
tion in the past has limited markets. In the era made pos
sible by aviation no market in the world will be too remote
to be supplied by air.
Equipment and manpower for air express will be avail
able after the war to every community that provides the
local accommodations required to permit normal and eco
nomical operation. But those localities which fail to make
provisions for adequate ports, loading and unloading facili
ties, etc, will be bypassed. It is time now to begin thinking
about the opportunities coming with the conclusion of the
war and working on arrangements to secure greatest pos
sible utilization of the advantages the new era will afford.

donned cowboy attire and are pa
rading the streets in shirts, hats
anil slacks of rainbow hue. Some

that would put a cowboy lo
shame. When the fire department
was called to a roof fire at Gar

The new rodio amphitheater is
unique in several ways. It is not
enclosed by a fence but is almost
completely surrounded by small
trees and brush and is neatly con
cealed from view as it nestles
closely In lis evergreen surround

to lie seen from the highway is
Ihe chibhouse and Ihe large new
barn, a small portion of the cor

which faces to the east With the

Russia Appraised
By Eric Johnson
SEATTLE, Aug. 23 (API
Erie A. Johnston, U. S. Chamber
of Commerce president, described
Russia as a land where "civil lib
erties are only a vague promise"
and where, "if there is any relig
ion, it is the worship of Stalin."
But, he said in addressing a
crowd of 500 construction execu
tives, Russia also Is a nation of
Indomitable courage.
. As an example, he gave this
vivid description of war-blasted
Stalingrad:
"Streets filled with rubble; oc
casional walls standing like tomb
stones of its great industries; vol
canic bomb craters; slit trenches
like the paths of worms through
rotten wood; Stalingrad will rise
again, phoenix-like, from its ash
es, the landmark, of, the labor
pains of a Russia reborn."
Throughout his entire travels,
however, Johnston said "
I have rediscovered America.
Never before did I realize the im
portance of our freedom, our
standard of living, our right of
habeas corpus, our bill of rights."
For the contractors, the Spo
kane businessman predicted that
the "eyes of the world are on the
Pacific coast. In the next decade
or two the west will receive tre
mendous growth. It will be a
great opportunity for the con
tracting profession.1!
